Brace yourself for the most star-studded digital event of the year as the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards will be held virtually owing to the global pandemic.
As soon the nominations for 72nd Emmy Awards were announced, this year’s Emmy executive producers and host Jimmy Kimmel sent out a letter to the nominees informing them that this year’s event will be digital and they will be participating from the comfort and safety of their homes.
“As you’ve probably guessed, we’re not going to be asking you to come to the Microsoft Theatre in downtown LA on September 20th,” the letter says, in part. “This year, it’s still going to be TV industry’s biggest night out… but we’ll come to you!”

The letter also reads “We are assembling a top-notch team of technicians, producers and writers to work closely with Jimmy Kimmel and with you and your team, to make sure that we can film with you (and loved ones or whomever else you choose to be with) at your home, or another location of your choice. We’re going to make you look fabulous – we’re exploring the cutting edge of technology to allow to use good cameras and lighting and look forward to working with you to produce your unique ‘on-screen” moments.’”
Nominations for the 2020 Primetime Emmys were announced on Tuesday. The virtual ceremony will air Sunday, September. 20 on ABC hosted for a third time by late-night TV star Jimmy Kimmel.
